I think you've found all of them.

There's no keyword that picks out those specifically.  They tend to be
documented under the keyword "utilities", and a search of help for the
word "Windows" will turn them up.

If you want to be sure to find all the Windows-specific functions, I
think the only way is to look at the source:  go to
src/library/base/R/windows for the R code, and
src/library/base/man/windows for the documentation.
